Riley certainly could not reply and that made Rowena chuckle.

"Calm down, I know that this status is only temporary, but ... hm, never mind. You'd better get back to your training," Rowena said and the girl pushed the stunned youth away.

Actually, Riley still wanted to talk. But since Rowena had told him to leave, of course he had to leave.

Riley rushed to the resting place for the prospective soldiers. In just a short time he had managed to find his two room mates who were lying on the grass with their eyes closed as if they were exhausted after the intense training they had done.

As soon as Riley sat down next to James, the young man immediately opened his eyes and got up. His eyes looked questioningly at Riley, "So, how was it?"

"How what?" Alen asked with his eyes still closed, not knowing that Riley was already there.

James clucked his tongue, "I'm not asking you."

The short-haired boy opened his eyes instantly, tilted his head and smiled widely when he saw Riley sitting facing Ja

    With great enthusiasm Rowena added, "You can ask him for advice. I'm sure he'll be able to help us."The girl's face even looked radiant, but Riley shook her head."Why? You don't want to?" Rowena asked with a confused expression.Riley sighed, "My father ... he's been in that field, risked his life and has done a lot for this kingdom. And right now he's living his life like an ordinary person."He then turned to the princess and continued, "I don't want to see him thinking hard about the war anymore. I want my father to just relax into his current life with my mother without thinking about things like this anymore, Your Highness."Rowena was silent.The girl was instantly reminded of her meeting with William Mackenzie some time ago. If Riley wanted his father not to worry about the kingdom, his father, the most powerful general ever, did the same.The god of war also did not want his son to know of his arrival. He also wanted his son to not worry about anything and focus on his goal.

    Alen shook his head and then replied, "It's possible that the design of this shirt is old, only the name is designed suddenly."James immediately scowled. "Damn you, Smith, why do you always enjoy destroying people's imaginations?"Alen chuckled, "Oh, that's not it. I just knew what you were going to say so I wanted to make you realize and remember the reality first."James did not reply again because he was still annoyed, while Riley just appeared with a clean face, "What's wrong?""Oh, you're so slow! Look at your uniform!" James said.Riley's reaction was more or less the same as Alen or James. However, the young man did not even hide his smile."Hey, are you so impressed with this outfit that you're smiling like that, Wood?" James said with a lopsided smile.Riley didn't take offense and instead said, "This is actually a battle suit for future soldiers like us. I wonder what the soldiers wear nowadays."Alen nodded and quickly took all the uniforms. Riley and James raised their ey

    Not wanting to make James Gardner suspicious of him, Riley quickly replied, "Of course not. How could I be afraid of something like that?"James squinted, looked questioningly at his friend and then grinned as if he had caught his prey. "But, what I saw wasn't like that. You're ... scared. Come on, be honest with me, you're afraid of the camera, right?" James said with a lopsided smile still gracing his lips."It's obvious, Wood. Your expression says it all." James continued cheerfully.Riley immediately corrected his facial expression and replied in an exasperated tone, "Nonsense. My facial expression is flatter.""So?" James said while raising an eyebrow."I'm not scared, James. I just don't like it. Satisfied?" Riley replied, gritting his teeth in annoyance.James giggled, ignoring his annoyed friend. Unwilling to hear that annoying laughter, Riley chose to walk faster and left James who was forced to run after him.Oh my! Riley had almost forgotten what he was supposed to be thin

    James Gardner let out another long sigh, "Oh, this is what happens when you choose to make out with the king's daughter over eating dinner on time."Riley really wanted to sew James' mouth shut for saying words that he thought were unimportant before getting to the point."Come on, don't play games, James!" Riley said as he bit his teeth.James grinned, "Fool, it's because there was a big war last night. The remaining soldiers were sent to the Fermoza Kingdom."Hearing that, of course Riley was very surprised, "What do you mean? Does that mean there are really only a few soldiers in this kingdom in total?""Yes, it does," James replied.Riley instantly fell silent, starting to panic. "What did they do? How could they do something like that? What if we get attacked? I mean, if the kingdom is abandoned by-""Calm down, Wood! There are still about twenty-five percent of the soldiers in the palace. That's still enough to protect this kingdom and the members of the royal family. So ... all

    William Mackenzie looked surprised at his wife's agitation. It had been so long since the man had seen his wife so anxious.So, he chose to be more careful when responding to all his wife's words."Please, answer, Bill! Why are you silent? Is there a rule that prospective soldiers can be sent to the battlefield if there is an emergency?" Cassandra said fiercely once again.William grimaced and pulled his wife closer to him. Afterward, he hugged his wife while stroking her hair and slowly said, "I know you're worried. But, it's not just you who's worried, dear. Riley is also my son. I was the one who gave him permission and I was even the one who helped him enter the palace. I'm fully responsible for everything, Cassie."Upon hearing her husband's words, Cassandra cried even more. In the beginning, she was the one who was the strongest when letting her son go for the selection, but now she was the one who was almost going crazy worrying about her son."Then ... what should we do, Bill?

    William shook his head firmly, "No. It's not. The problem of the two of them is still the same, there's nothing else yet. But ... it's about Riley and Princess Rowena."Cassandra raised an eyebrow, feeling both astonished and confused, "What is our son's relationship with the princess of Ans De Lou Kingdom?"William looked at his wife straight on, as if preparing to say an important thing that was difficult to say.Cassandra, who had known her husband for decades, could certainly sense how nervous he looked."Bill, say it! Why are you being so convoluted about it?" Cassandra protested.William bit his lower lip, "The problem is that this is too shocking for me. In fact, not once did this event ever cross my mind. To the point that I ....""You really made me impatient. Are you telling me or am I going to find out by calling Mary myself?" Cassandra said as she had lost her patience.William grimaced, "Riley is in a relationship with Princess Rowena.""Relationship? Princess Rowena made

    Someone behind the young man immediately interjected, "Hey, we don't know the situation and condition of our royal troops yet. Don't speak carelessly!"Riley turned his head toward the source of the voice. The person speaking was Damian Irving, one of the sons of the senior soldier who had also been his father's subordinate.However, Riley did not know if Sean Irving, Damian's father was still a soldier in the palace. But, if that person was still in the palace, his position must have risen to a higher position.As Riley recalled, senior soldiers who had good skills and a lot of war experience were usually placed at level one. And as long as Riley set foot in the palace, he still could not find out about the level of the soldiers due to his busy schedule as a prospective soldier. "I'm not careless. You're not blind, right? You can see with your own eyes how damaged this area is!" the man said curtly, seemingly disagreeing with Damian Irving's words.Damian sighed irritably, "The si

    Riley was well aware of the difficulties he might face. However, he still said, “No matter how difficult it is, I will still try to meet him.”James sighed irritably, “Well if you're still that determined, good luck.”Riley snorted, he thought James would help him. But, apparently he was just expecting too much from a James who was still selfish sometimes.As they continued walking, a senior soldier of the second level leading them suddenly raised his right hand and asked them to stop.One of the prospective soldiers asked, “Are we there yet?”The soldier with one of the pistols in his hand replied, “Where do you mean?”“At ... the battlefield,” the prospective soldier replied sounding so nervous.The leader snorted, “This is already a war zone. Can't you see your surroundings?”The would-be soldier who asked the question swallowed hard, a bit scared.Meanwhile, the squad leader put his weapon back in its original place and said, “There is a small battle not far from here.

    "Yes, Mr. Chesnut," Camelia replied, almost gnashing her teeth in annoyance."Y-you're sure? Is it really my name? Did the king say my name?" Jim asked as he pointed at himself with his right index finger.Uh, it looks like Camelia will have to practice her patience even more. Because, the main soldiers standing nearby were apparently not as smart as they should be.Perhaps, they were only physically strong. But, when it comes to thinking, it seems to be very, very slow, Camelia thought with a frown. "Yes, Mr. Chesnut. You have been asked to appear before the king," Camelia replied.Jim was stunned. "Is that for real? This feels like ...."Before Camelia Hart could answer Jim Chesnut's question, Ludor Flee, who couldn't contain his curiosity, asked, "What orders, Miss?""Special orders? How is that possible?" Dylan Chick also wanted to know.Camelia, who didn't want to be in that area for long, immediately replied, "Of course it's out of my control. I mean ... what the order was onl

    The young maid whose full name was Camelia Hart immediately lowered her head and replied timidly, "No, Your Majesty.""Yes, Your Majesty. I ... go first," Camelia said.The young girl turned to her companions, giving a code which was an invitation to leave the king's residence.The servants nodded and were about to follow Camelia. However, before they could take a step they heard Xylan's voice saying, "You stay here."They immediately turned around and with confused expressions stood silently. Meanwhile, the astonished Camelia Hart opened her mouth, "Your Majesty, I-""The one I ordered to meet Jim Chesnut was you, Camelia. As for them ... well, I still need them here," Xylan explained.Xylan's words seemed odd because he usually didn't want to be served without Camelia, but as if to reassure that there was nothing strange there Xylan hurriedly said, "I have something I want to do and I think they can help me. You ... just do the job f

    Xylan Wellington did not immediately answer Ronald Wings' question. The viceroy looked thoughtful with furrowed brows."I ... can't confirm that yet," Xylan said, sounding hesitant.Ronald bit his lower lip. Uh, his words were actually the same as accusing one of the servants of betraying the king. Because, only the servant who was around at the time of his conversation with the king. However, all of the king's servants who were close to them at that time were women. Ronald felt that he had spoken wrongly.But, just as he was about to open his mouth to correct his words, Xylan said, "I will do something to check."Ronald widened his eyes, looking shocked. "Your Majesty, I beg your forgiveness. What I said earlier-""What you said could have happened. Well, I think I have to consider many things. So, it's not a big deal if I have to check on the maids," Xylan cut off Ronald's words.The twenty-seven-year-old soldier blinked, looking surprised that Xylan could read what he was thinkin

    James shook his head, "I can't say right now."Reiner immediately let out a disappointed sigh. "You are ... making us curious.""Right, why can't you say it now?" Ben asked with a curious expression."Can't you give us just a little ... bright spot?" Shin tried to persuade hopefully.James chuckled softly, "Sorry, I really can't tell you guys right now, but ... I'm sure it won't be long before we know everything."Diego gave him an unsure look, "Will it be us or will it be you?"James flashed a bright smile, "Of course we all will.""I don't believe it," Alen said quickly.The war general blinked repeatedly and looked at each of his good friends with a puzzled look.He then pointed at himself with his right index finger and said, "You think I'm lying? Since when did I lie or break my promise?"Ben frowned and looked thoughtful. He looked up as if he was considering something.An exasperated James said, "Damn it! Do you have to think just to answer a simple question?"Diego held back a

    Ben immediately grimaced. Meanwhile, Alen and Shin laughed crisply together. Then, Diego pretended to look up.However, Reiner boldly replied, "It's not about feeling sorry for you. I ... just think Riley is too much."James clucked his tongue and took the empty seat next to Diego who immediately turned to him with the same look."That's his right," James replied, sounding casual."Rights? What right do you mean, the right to put his best friend in trouble?" Reiner replied cluelessly.James shrugged, "I've been causing him trouble for the past few years as well."Shin widened his eyes, "Hey, what are you talking about? What trouble? He-""I left this palace and let Riley handle all the problems in this kingdom by herself. I mean ... I know you guys have always been there for him and so many great warriors have helped him, but ... yeah it's still hard for him," James explained after cutting off Shin's words that he hadn't finished yet.

    Reiner frowned when he saw James' expression which he found very strange. Moreover, he also saw how James' lips suddenly formed a smile."What's wrong with you?" Reiner finally chose to ask.James once again smiled at Reiner, making Reiner wink.Reiner also got goosebumps instantly. "What's wrong with you? Don't tell me you're going crazy, James!"A sigh was immediately heard from James. He snorted in exasperation, "Damn it! I still have hopes of meeting Riley, even if it's not now. Why should I go crazy?"Hearing that, Reiner let out a sigh of relief. Because, James' nagging was one of the ways that showed that his good friend was really just fine. "Then, why are you being like that? Smiling horribly. Very strange, just so you know! Not like your usual self," Reiner explained, who still looked a bit horrified.James grinned again, revealing his row of clean teeth. He then said, "Oh, it's about Gary Davis. You ... just made me realize something, Rei.""Realized? About what?" Reiner a

    Instead of answering James Gardner's question, Xylan Wellington said, "I ... I know what you're trying to say, General Gardner."Great, so what's the answer? Reiner thought, starting to feel lazy.James raised an eyebrow, "Yes, Your Majesty?"Xylan sighed softly, then closed his eyes for a few seconds. After regaining control of himself he replied, "It was my negligence, General Gardner.""Negligence? About what, Your Majesty?" James asked, sounding like he wanted a clearer answer."My sister. I ... know she has done wrong," Xylan said quietly.The viceroy bowed his head for a few seconds, while James remained silent, waiting for him to speak again.And without James pressing him, Xylan said, "I've actually noticed something strange about her. This ... even, before you set out to find my brother-in-law again, General Gardner."James' eyes widened instantly, but he still refrained from commenting.Xylan cleared his throat softly before continuing, "But ... even when I felt something wa

    Hearing the new war general's question, Xylan Wellington laughed awkwardly.It was a laugh that didn't really come off, in fact, it sounded so strange that it made anyone who heard the viceroy's laughter confused.Reiner also looked at Xylan with a strange gaze while James did not even blink. The look in his eyes showed a demand.A demand for an explanation from Xylan regarding what he had just said.When he saw that urgent questioning look, Xylan finally stopped laughing. He cleared his throat softly before saying, "Hm ... I know from the main soldier.""The main soldier?" James repeated as he frowned.Xylan gulped and smiled clumsily, "The king's court soldiers, General Gardner."Oh, that wasn't really what James meant. He knew without even asking that the main soldiers were the palace soldiers specifically assigned to escort and guard him.There were usually five of them and one of them was required to stay by his side

    James Gardner remained silent, giving no clear answer to Reiner's question.An immediate anxiety struck the ground war commander. Not wanting to be ignored by James, Reiner asked again, "James, tell me. Are you going to stay in the palace? You're not going to leave, right?"He looked anxiously at James who was staring out the car window. However, after he waited patiently enough he finally heard James answer, "I don't know."Reiner's heart was like being hit by a rock instantly."So ... are you leaving?" the man asked in a tone that sounded disappointed."It depends."Reiner, who was still staring at James, raised an eyebrow, looking confused, "Depends on what?"James sighed softly, "It depends on King Xylan's answer."Reiner was getting more and more confused. However, he did not have time to ask further as the car they were in had already entered the main gate of the Ans De Lou Royal palace. Even so, Reiner still did not want to give up so easily so he continued to stick to James e
